That is really cool. I found myself trying to come up with how he did it.
Me too! I'm thinking the images were cut apart and pieces arranged on different planes, then filmed.
That's better than my idea... makes sense...I think if you actually cut the photos apart and kind of shrunk the photo to hide elements.. and gradually reveal them as you zoom in.
at first I was thinking he had multiple camera's set up. But that was not making any sense.. so didn't know what to think
I saw a special once, somewhere, on this kind of effect. Not sure if this guy used this effect, but:
Set up several cameras all connected to the same shutter
Arrange the cameras along the path that you want the movie to appear to follow
Fire the shutter, watch 10 (or more) cameras all snap with different perspectives
In fact, heres a patent for something similar: //www.freepatentsonline.com/7046292.html
